The questioner : May the Shaykh be honored, we want to know what the difference is between the Muslim Brotherhood and Salafism?
The Shaykh : By Allah, my brother, I see that it is obligatory for everyone to be brothers and to be upon the way of the Salaf, to be brothers in Allah, as the Exalted said, mentioning this as a favor upon the believers:[Ali 'Imran 3:103] and to be upon the path of the Salaf.
The questioner : How?
The Shaykh : And to be upon the way of the Salaf; if they are brothers upon the way of the Salaf, then this is the path of the believers. But if there are principles and ideas that contradict what the righteous Salaf were upon, then it must be corrected. Yes, that is right.
